"We have a lot of very interesting developments these days: Gold Market Manipulations are almost in the headlines and the FED is more and more presented in its all glory. It is interesting to note that this article is published in WSJ and just before Janet Yellen nomination."

Gold researcher Koos Jansen has unearthed another confidential U.S. government memorandum describing in detail the government's objective of demonetizing gold and suppressing its price.

The memorandum, dated March 6, 1974, was written by Sidney Weintraub, the deputy assistant secretary of state for international finance and development, to Paul Volcker, undersecretary of the treasury for monetary affairs and future chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, who last year at least had the integrity, when cornered by financial journalist Lars Schall, to admit publicly the government's interest in rigging the gold price:

The bulk of the memorandum found by Jansen is a State Department study prepared for Secretary of State Henry Kissinger about ways "to encourage and facilitate the eventual demonetization of gold" through negotiations with other countries, particularly in Europe, and through international agreements.

Of course many U.S. government records from the 1970s and earlier expressing an interest in controlling or suppressing the gold price have been publicized by GATA, Zero Hedge, and others in recent years. So perhaps more interesting is that in July 2012 GATA asked the State Department for access to all its records "involving ... treaties, international agreements, executive agreements, protocols, conventions, or other similar agreements relating to gold" --

GATA received the same implausible response when it sued the Federal Reserve for access to its gold records in 2009. The Fed claimed that it simply couldn't find very many such records, professing not to be able to find even gold-related records GATA had found on the Fed's own Internet site.

That is, when it comes to anything important involving gold, the U.S. government simply lies.

For gold is not just the secret knowledge of the financial universe; it is the ultimate power in the world, the mechanism of control of the world economy and the valuation of all capital, labor, goods, and services. The U.S. government more readily would disclose the disposition of its nuclear weapons systems than the disposition of its gold and its surreptitious intervention in the gold market.
